The most recent Leeds United news includes the availability of a former target and the potential international success of a current Whites player.
In the upcoming weeks, Leeds United may have the opportunity to sign a former transfer target on a free transfer.
The Whites were one of many teams linked with a move for German defender Kai Wagner of the Philadelphia Union during the January transfer window as they sought to strengthen their team in an effort to stay in the Premier League.
Wagner stayed with the MLS team despite the interest, and went on to contribute 10 assists and three goals across all competitions for his team. Despite that performance, The Athletic has reported that the full-back is ‘likely’ to quit the Union after attempts to reach an agreement on a new deal fell through.
The Greek club AEK Athens, coached by former Union head coach Matias Almeyda, is reportedly interested in signing Wagner when he becomes a free agent in the upcoming weeks.
Whites star expected to receive surprise England call-up
Archie Gray, a young player for the Whites, might “make great strides” over the course of the upcoming year, according to former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson, positioning himself to compete for a spot in England’s Euro 2024 squad.
The midfielder, who is 17 years old, has played for the Three Lions at various youth levels, and last week he made his Under-19s debut in a goalless draw with Montenegro in a European Championship qualifying match.
Gray, who is also qualified to play for Scotland at the senior level, has become close to Robinson, and he feels that by working with Whites manager Daniel Farke, he can advance his chances of earning senior caps in the future.
Archie Gray, a player I regularly observed at Leeds United, was the former Whites goalkeeper’s “dark horse” for the Euros squad, he told BBC Five Live. has represented England at every level up to the under-19s but has not yet played for the England under-21s.
He has been a consistent member of Daniel Farke’s Leeds squad this season, and I believe he will make significant progress over the coming 12 to 18 months.
